Convert FLAC files to MP3 with flac and lame
Posted by Ali Gangji | Filed under command line
Flac files are just dandy, and I’m happy to use them. Sometimes, however, you might need mp3 files instead. Particularly if a friend of yours asks you to make him an mp3 cd out of some albums you only have in FLAC format. So what to do? well it’s easy enough to do from the command line, provided you have flac and lame installed.
first create a file called flac2mp3 somewhere in your path.
copy the following into it:
#!/bin/bash
FLAC=$1
MP3="${FLAC%.flac}.mp3"
[ -r "$FLAC" ] || { echo can not read file \"$FLAC\" >&1 ; exit 1 ; } ;
metaflac --export-tags-to=- "$FLAC" | sed 's/=\(.*\)/="\1"/' >tmp.tmp
cat tmp.tmp
. ./tmp.tmp
rm tmp.tmp
flac -dc "$FLAC" | lame -b 192 -h --tt "$Title" \
--tn "$Tracknumber" \
--tg "$Genre" \
--ty "$Date" \
--ta "$Artist" \
--tl "$Album" \
--add-id3v2 \
- "$MP3"
Now just enter the directory with your flac files and run the following:
for file in *.flac; do $(flac2mp3 "$file"); done
That’s it! wasn’t that easy? good ol’ ‘nix.
